After signing his own name on the "warrior soul" with Luo Qianyi, Chi Hao felt an invisible force enveloping his body, slowly permeating and gently changing his physical form. It was soft and comfortable. "How about we go out and do some tasks together?" Luo Qianyi suggested.
"Aren't you afraid? You might encounter some terrifying monsters." Chi Hao tried to scare her.
"I'm not afraid, I have to get used to it. I can't hide in the village forever, and besides, there's the Seven-day beginner protection period, right?" Luo Qianyi insisted.
"Okay," Chi Hao reluctantly agreed.
"Hello, do you mind if I stay a little longer?" A very soft and cute voice came from the side. A Mengmei with a pink bunny headband and a pink dress stood nearby, carefully raising her hand and blinking her big eyes, waiting for the two people's response.
She looks very young, and maybe not even 5 feet tall with shoes on. It seems like it would be hard for normal people to refuse such a young girl. She's so cute, everyone wants to go over and pat her head. She also looks easy to bully, and even if she gets angry, it's more of a cute anger. Oh well, I can only agree to her.
"How old are you?" Luo Qianyi asked.
"Don't you know that a girl's age should be kept secret?" Xiao Mengmei didn't directly answer.
"Answering in a very old-fashioned way, it's possible that it's an old lady," Chi Hao joked.
"No, no, actually I'm already seventeen, it's just that... it's just that..." Xiao Mengmei felt embarrassed to continue, feeling awkward about saying that they look cute and young.
"Dead at seventeen, was it also an accident?" Luo Qianyi wondered.
"Sigh," Xiao Mengmei let out a long sigh.
"It's all because of meeting people online. I met a few friends while playing game and they suggested meeting up in person to play together on the weekend. I went and we played until late, then someone suggested going to karaoke. Everyone seemed to be having so much fun and we had known each other for a while, so I went along. It was the weekend after all. I ended up falling asleep while playing and when I woke up, I was here."
As for what happened next, I guess I don't need to say much. It's pretty miserable.
"How did you die?" Xiao Mengmei asked.
"You encountered a bad person and dared to follow a stranger into the wilderness. Aren't you afraid?" Chi Hao didn't answer Xiao Mengmei's question, but asked in return.
"Don't worry, there's a Seven-day beginner protection period anyway. Besides, if a girl takes the initiative to ask for help, she must have something special. And you also look mature and stable, so you shouldn't be a bad person," Xiao Mengmei said confidently.
"I like hearing that. Alright, I'll take you with me. What's your name? What is warrior soul? What abilities do you have? Tell me everything," Chi Hao agreed to Xiao Mengmei. In his opinion, since he had arrived in a new world, since he was already divorced, and since there shouldn't be any constraints here, having a few more girlfriends wouldn't hurt for a second chance at life.
However, in Luo Qianyi's eyes, it may not be the case. This little girl looks like she doesn't have much combat power and might be a burden.
"I'm Ruan Meng, and my warrior soul is the Seven-Colored Gourd Vine. Yes, it's the one you're thinking of, the vine that can produce the Seven-Colored Gourd Babies. Currently, my only ability is storage. The weight I can store is ten times my strength, which is thirty kilograms," Ruan Meng said, speaking softer as she went on, feeling embarrassed.
What can 30 kilograms carry?
"In fact, it can be overloaded, but it will consume extra physical strength." Ruan Meng is afraid Chi Hao will regret it, so he quickly added.
"Okay, let's treat it as a mobile warehouse. It's good to upgrade and increase the limit. Let's see what tasks the village has posted," Chi Hao said indifferently.
The three looked at the bulletin board, where two tasks were posted. Due to the rapid increase in the village's population, two tasks were specially posted: Hunting: There are abundant resources outside the village. In the western plains, there are sheep, badgers, and in the forest area, there are Mung bean pig, all important sources of meat for the village. However, it should be noted that the mantises and hawks in the plains are extremely aggressive beasts and very dangerous. Hunting these animals and bringing them back to the village will result in generous rewards.
Construction: The north side of the village is surrounded by continuous mountain ranges, and the tong wood on the mountains is a good material for building houses. Bringing back tong wood from logging will result in generous rewards, and it would be even better if precious medicinal herbs are found.
Chi Hao glanced at the two girls and realized that it wouldn't work to go logging. It's better to go fight monsters, hoping that those animals won't be too big.
Two girls went to the blacksmith shop to collect their newly issued novice weapons, and then followed Chi Hao as they walked outside the village. At this time, some people had already come back carrying their prey. The sheep kun was even bigger than a real mountain goat, estimated to weigh over fifty pounds. The bull badger was even larger, weighing at least three hundred pounds. The larger ones required four people to carry, hanging the prey on a double bar and carried by four strong men.
For the sheep kun, two girls would be enough. The three of them glanced at each other. Although they didn't see Mung bean pig, they estimated that its size wouldn't be small, so Xiao Mengmei's storage function wouldn't be needed for the time being.
Outside the village, there is a lush green area covered with knee-high wild grass. Looking around, you can see cows and sheep leisurely grazing on the wild grass, while many people are heading towards them with various weapons. Chi Hao observed for a while and noticed that there was a particular area where there were no cows or sheep, making it seem especially empty. According to the laws of the animal world, there must be a ferocious beast lurking here. The thickets here are particularly dense, making it difficult to walk. If encountering a ferocious beast, all three people would have to return to the city for free.
Chi Hao took out the warrior soul and held it in his hand, feeling a bit safer.
"Wow, your sword is so cool. I knew I didn't choose the wrong person to rely on," Ruan Meng exclaimed when she saw Chi Hao's warrior soul.
Jiuyou Soul-Cutting Blade has a very thick and heavy blade, with a crescent-shaped tip like a devil's fang, connected to a blood-red back. The blade is engraved with inexplicable gilded runes, and at the end is a raised dragon head connecting to the hilt, appearing bold and fierce.
Ruan Meng is trouble when he speaks. The grass rustled, and a huge "Mantis" jumped out, its pair of green compound eyes scanning the three people back and forth.
Wow, no wonder it's called a Mantis, its forearms are like sharp daggers. Most people would already feel intimidated by a palm-sized Mantis, but the one in front of us is half a meter tall.
Before the three of them could prepare, the Mantis had already launched an attack. Ruan Meng, being the smallest, became the first target of the Mantis. It flapped and then swung its forearm towards Ruan Meng's neck. Startled, Ruan Meng reflexively raised his sword and stabbed at the Mantis. The sword tip grazed the Mantis' abdomen, but surprisingly didn't break through its defense. The Mantis' attack paused for a moment, then it swung down its forearm like a blade. Fortunately, the Mantis wasn't very big, and it hit the sword hilt, causing Ruan Meng to instantly lose his grip on the sword.
Mantis strikes at an extremely fast speed, completing the attack in the time it takes to breathe.
Seizing the opportunity as Mantis descends, Chi Hao raises his knife and strikes down from above. As Mantis lands, the blade is already at its back, and Mantis is cut in two with a single stroke.
Just now, the "battle" lasted only three to five seconds, but the foreheads of the three people were all sweating. Luo Qianyi was very conscious, picked up the novice sword and took out her gourd, lifting Mantis's body.
"How heavy?" Chi Hao asked.
"13 catties," Ruan Meng said, patting her chest that she didn't know if it had grown.
"Oh? Not bad, it can hold five or six of them. I have a bold idea."
Chi Hao's mouth slightly curled up. Yes, Chi Hao's bold idea is to let two girls lure the monsters. At first, the two girls were very resistant when they heard this, casting disdainful glances at Chi Hao. However, after Chi Hao said a few words, they thought about it and agreed.
Chi Hao said, "I'll lure the monsters, can you two kill them? If you're too far from me, you'll be easily attacked and won't have time for rescue. If we stick together, the monsters won't attack me. So, it's better for you to lure the monsters and I'll ambush them, taking them out with one strike."
It seems to be the case, and the girls can only accept it.
There weren't many mantises. It took more than an hour to find six mantises in this area. Mengmei's stamina was also running low, so she returned to the village to turn in the task.
There are many people queuing to sell cattle and sheep, but there is no one at the place to sell Mantis and eagles. When someone approaches, the man receiving the goods instantly greets them with a smile.
"Oh, finally someone has come after waiting for so long. Do you have goods?" The man rubs his hands and walks forward.
Chi Hao made a gesture to Mengmei to release the goods. Mengmei summoned the warrior soul and placed the bodies of six Mantis on the ground.
"It's a total of 72.4 catties," Mengmei emphasized the weight of the spoils.
"Wow, what a great warrior soul. Let me take a look at the goods first," the old man squatted down to examine the bodies of six Mantis, paying special attention to their wounds.
After a while, the old man smiled with satisfaction, took out five white spirit stones and a scroll from his storage ring, and said, "To make it even for you, here are 5 large perfect white spirit stones and a Task scroll. See if you're interested."
